Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 29, 2006 a purported federal securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California entitled "Glenn D. Hutton, on behalf on himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, vs. Hansen Natural Corporation, Rodney C. Sacks, Hilton H. Schlosberg, Norman C. Epstein, Harold C. Taber, Jr., Mark S. Vidergauz, Mark J. Hall, Michael B. Schott, Thomas J. Kelly, Defendants."

The lawsuit seeks to have the court determine recognition of a class of plaintiffs consisting of all persons, other than the defendants, who purchased Hansen Natural Corporation (the "Company") securities between November 12, 2001 and November 9, 2006 inclusive (the "Class Period") and alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

The lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants issued numerous, positive press releases, statements, quarterly financial reports and annual financial reports filed with the SEC that described the Company's financial performance. The lawsuit alleges that these statements were "materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose and misrepresented the following facts, among others: (a) that defendants engaged in the backdating of stock option grants for certain key executives of the Company; (b) that the Company lacked adequate internal controls and was therefore unable to ascertain its true financial condition; and (c) that as a result of the foregoing, defendants engaged in improper accounting practices." The lawsuit also alleges that "had Plaintiff and other members of the Class and the marketplace known the truth regarding the true financial position and the operating conditions that Hansen was experiencing, which were not disclosed by the defendants, Plaintiff and other members of the Class would not have purchased or otherwise acquired their Hansen securities, or, if they had acquired such securities during the Class Period, they would not have done so at the artificially inflated prices which they paid." The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and fails to satisfy pleading requirements under federal law and, accordingly, intends to file a motion to dismiss the complaint at an appropriate time. However, the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

To the extent that any complaint served upon the Company in the future contains allegations similar to those contained in the complaint described above, the Company does not intend to issue an additional report on Form 8-K.
